【Further Meditation on Suffering】- The great mental suffering of demigods 2

【In other words, they are tortured by their unbearable envy of the deities' wealth.】

Because of their great hatred and strong jealousy, they cannot bear to see how others are doing well. In their mind, they need to be the stronger ones. Ah, so when they see others better than him, they find it unbearable. But there are others who are just better than him. The deities are all unspeakably beautiful. Even though the asuras have great merits, but every one of them is ugly. Ah, it is very interesting! And then, the Indra's wife is the daughter of an asura. She looks...the female asuras are beautiful. But they would marry the deities. Ah! Just like that. There are all kinds of things that don't go their way. And for the heavenly fruits that the Indra eats, the roots of the fruit tree are grown in the palace of the asuras. The roots are grown inside there. But the fruits that grow will fall in the garden of the Indra. Ah, this is really unbearable! This is truly unbearable. By their nature, they have great hatred, and they have strong jealousy. This is why they fight with the deities all the times. Therefore,

【Because of this, they fight with the deities 】

And once they fight?

【and endure many sufferings, such as having their bodies cut and split apart. They are intelligent, but they have mental obscurations, fruitions of past karma, which make it impossible for them to see the truth from within their situation.】

Even though they are intelligent, but due to the fruitions of past karma, for the demigod realm that they achieved, there is this mental obscuration. So they will not be able to see the truth, will not be able to see the truth.

希求解脱 : 非天意苦重 2

【此由不忍，嫉天富乐，令意热恼，】

因为他瞋心大，嫉妒心强，不能忍受人家的好，他意里面特别地强，啊，看见别人比他强就受不了。别人就偏偏比他强，那个天人都长得美不可言，修罗的福虽然大，长得个个丑陋。啊，妙不可言！还有呢，这个帝释的这个太太，就是修罗的女儿，她长得，女的很漂亮，结果呢就嫁给那个天。啊！就这样，种种不理想的。还有那个帝释天吃的那种天上的果，那个树那个根呢，就长在那个修罗宫当中，根长在那里，长出来的果，可掉在帝释天的园子里边。唉，这实在是难受啊！实在是难受。他本性本来就是瞋心很大，嫉妒心很强，所以他一天到晚要跟那个天打。所以： 【由此因缘，与天斗诤，】 然后一打呢？

【受割裂等伤身众苦。此等虽具智慧，然由异熟障故，于彼身中不堪见谛。】

他虽然有智慧，但是由于这个异熟，他所感得的这个非天这一趣，这个障碍存在，他没有办法见谛，没有办法见谛的。
